John MayerandKaty Perryseem to be on good terms.

Nearly 10 years after ending their on-again, off-again relationship, the two musicians were spotted chatting while in attendance forSabrina Carpenter’s Short n' Sweet Tour stop at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Nov. 17.

For the outing, the “Teenage Dream” singer sported a short blue dress with black boots and a fur-trimmed coat, while Mayer wore a casual black jacket and gray pants. They were photographed separately outside the venue.

The artists previously dated on and off from 2013 to 2015, during which they collaborated on the song “Who You Love” from Mayer’sParadise Valleyalbum. (Mayer also played guitar on “It Takes Two” from Perry’sPrismalbum.)

Perry previously spoke about Mayer during her stint as anAmerican Idoljudge in 2022, when contestant Noah Thompson performed the Grammy winner’s 2009 hit “Heartbreak Warfare.”

“Noah…I feel like maybe you should Wikipedia me,” she said at the time. “You did great, but I can’t talk anymore. I’m triggered!”

Now, Perry is engaged to actorOrlando Bloom, with whom she welcomed her first child, daughter Daisy Dove, in August 2020. The pair began dating in 2016, split the following year and rekindled less than a year later, before getting engaged in 2019.

In January, Mayer — who’s been romantically linked to celebrities includingJessica Simpson,Jennifer AnistonandTaylor Swiftin the past — spoke to palKelly Rizzoon herComfort Foodpodcast about his romantic goals.

“People don’t think I want to be married.Iabsolutelywant to be married,” he said at the time. “You know the secret, which is that I’m actually fairly well-adjusted. And I so badly want to get married if only for my wife to just know in her heart, like, ‘John will know what to do.'”

He added at the time, “I just think that level of being relied on is the hottest thing in the world to me. ‘If my husband was here, he would know what to do. Call John. Call my husband.’ You’re a full grown-up when this is your romantic fantasy. You’re a fully fledged grown-up.”

Other celebrities in attendance at Carpenter’s Nov. 17 show includedCara Delevingne, Madeline Petsch,Sarah Michelle Gellar,Taylor Zakhar PerezandBlue Ivy Carter.
